The NCIP Misamis Oriental conducted a back to back activities with the ICCs/IPs of Dulangan AD, Brgy. limonda,Opol, Mis.Or, to wit:

1. LGU- Opol LGSF SBDP project for Street Lights & Water System- level II.

- conducted Ocular inspection, Posting & Serving of notices.

2. Conflict Resolution as to whom shall be finally recognized as Limbibongqn in Barangay Limonda replacing the former Limbobongan who has already passed away.

The activity was spearheaded by the Acting Provincial Officer Atty. Jerie M. Ragsac together with the Provincial office and Initao CSC staff consisting of Naomi M. Pandi, TAA II Narciso C. Sagubay, Jr., TAA II Bernardo L. Sabate - AA III and Jesse M. Pasal-AA I

highlights of the activity:

The Dulangan IPS facilitated the said activity with the guidance of PO Ragsac. The IPS did not follow their conventional customary practice in resolving conflict knowing that said the practice is not applicable to the issue at hand, instead, they opted to follow the "Moya-moya" system, a customary alternative method.

After a long thorough discussion and clarifications, all parties wholeheartedly accepted what had been unanimously agreed by the IPS and the community.

Datu Jeffrey Lacdagan was pronounced as the new Limbobongqn and Datu Enriquito Sayagnao will remain as Masikampo.

However, Datu Jeffrey Lacdagan could only be fully declared as Limbobongan if he would resign and relinquished his position as Barangay Kagawad. This was the condition the ICC/IPs gave to avoid conflict of interest. Datu Lacdagan accepted the challenge.

ways forward:
Submit a Resolution to the Provincial Office with the supporting document of a Resignation Letter by Datu Jeffrey Lacdgan duly signed by the Punong Barangay.

It was a long day of hard work yet very satisfying as one would see that the IP leaders have finally resolved their issue and have united once again.
